MenuI am answering with the assumptions that
A) Bangladesh's population is as much your demo as USA
B) You eventually want to have presence in both countries
So here's some numbers- B'desh has only 7% internet penetration, but 80% of those use it at least once a day and the country is overwhelmingly a young country (under 55). If your service is youth-driven, that's a plus for sure.
As a result, web advertising through Google adwords is 79% less in Bangladesh compared to the US (http://tinyurl.com/nfqzxjc)
so that is one outstanding plus - save money, get eyeballs.
This high percentage of under-45 year olds makes social media and share-ability a big piece of your marketing (more free advertising), as well as the celebratory factor of a local person (your co-founder) having 'made it big'.
Without knowing much more about the product/service I'd say social virality and lower cost-per-click by 80% are two major points in favor of a Bangladeshi launch.
The decision is yours :), happy to have a chat with you on a call this week! We can talk about the urgency you are facing, and how you could translate the momentum from Bangladesh to the US market (short answer: depends, but can be done).
Best,
Arjun
